"What are those other things around his power book?", well: on the left is an laCie rugged external hard drive, on the right its an interface, and on the top it's a black Korg nanoKontrol.

"What pedals is he running his EMS synthi through?"
the big pedal is the moogfooger MF-104Z Analog Delay

"Can anyone tell what pedals Jim is using?"
A crybaby on the left, then i think it's a ?Ibanez AD80 Analog Delay? or 'Maxon OD-9 Overdrive?

hmmm that effect chain in those dream aktion unit photos is abit different than what he had in sonic youth (check the gearography page on this site), i also can see the Boss Octave OC-2 behind the mic stand in that pic next to the craybaby wah, not sure what the others are from those shot angles, they kinda look like boutique/custom pedals or EH pedals though.

one looks like a super fuzz

is the moogerfooger mf-104z really worth its hilarious amount of money I am asking myself everytime I see one. yes, pretty long analog-delay time, but isnt the sound pretty clean? or is it just my humble opinion after the few chances to hear one in action

Where we go...

I see a

DOD yellow pedal
EH Holy Grail
Zvex Ooh Wah
Mutron Vol Wah

but don't know about those two white ones....

Chris Lawrence 03.14.2010 01:42 PM

white one on the left is a crowther 'prunes and custard'

So, the right one is a Crowther Audio Hotcake

Great work detective crew.

But the real question is?

Did he pre-damage his gear or was the wear and tear done on stage....

adjectives-ex 03.17.2010 12:54 PM

that question is very real, RN.

scott v 03.19.2010 03:01 PM

interesting a Zvex pedal... ooh wah

which DOD pedal is that one??? it looks to be painted or taped over heavily.

the black one looks like a demeter pedal but without any knobs???

Thanks to everyone for solving most of this mystery up!

Does anyone know what program Jim uses on his powerbook for Fenno'berg?
